Many of you might have read my post about the Digital Health Conference in New York City which is put on by the NYeC. It’s looking like it will be another great conference this year for those of us in the health IT & EHR world.

Turns out their marketing people are pretty creative as well. They just sent me 10 reasons to attend their health IT and EHR conference. I thought it was a great list and not just because I’m included in number 7.

1. The “Father of the U.S. health IT movement,” Dr. David Brailer and the enthralling Freakonomics co-author Stephen J. Dubner will keynote the event.

2. Unveiling of the inaugural class of the New York Digital Health Accelerator, a $4.2 million program run by the New York eHealth Collaborative and the New York City Investment Fund for early- and growth-stage digital health companies.
